iraq street scene

Sturzkampf,

     yeah i have a prospect in modifying a DML  vietcong figure in which they just wear trouser and shirts.also theres a figure  holding an RPG..and i think a few scratch building will make it great.

mortarmagnet,

               yeah,,me too ive got a hard time thinking on how to start my 1.5' x 1.5 ft.coz  its my very first one,im just inspired in OIF.  77inch x 41inch is also big...hope to see your finish work bro.

Sturzkampf, negative as of this moment,theres no availabale insurgent figure @ the shops here.anyway your suggestion has been feed and included in the plan..youll see it as soon as the project is finished.

i cant remember it very well. i think its band of brothers.

awwww what movie is that sturzkampf??

Devore,yes please,can i have some photos?? gonna be a biggy help and good reference.

Whatever you do DO NOT use anything from that CRAP TV show "Over There". I came back from Iraq in January after a year, if you want photos of street scenes I would be happy to give you some from my personal collection.

..."Over There"... there is a reason that show is off the air. It was awful. I saw about 30 minutes of an episode when I was home on leave last October. Something to do with an orphenage - which of course - was run by a hot French chick. Well the E-6 squad leader goes into the building ALONE to talk to her - I won't even get into what was wrng with the house it's self . Meanwhile, his squad is outside not pulling security with the same mountains from the TV show "MASH" in the background. I can't remember how many beer cans I threw at the TV before I changed the channel.

no not yet bro, 2nd floor is on the making on the next building,,yeah ill try to put and hide an insurgent to the other building.

thanks bro.

sturzkamp,

            nice idea bro, theres a marine   providing a  perimeter in the second floor, since im imagining that the area has been sweep already,sorry its blurry.

you could put an iraqui sniper in an upper floor of a building

hello curtis,

     i have iraq war diorama in progress its only  45% far away to completion,what do you think ??

ive got the idea on a street from a fallujah photo. here

the diorama is still in the making.

if i get a hold of a 72 scale kit my first instinct is to build then blow up i used to build the airfix 72 scale tanks for fun.

they have some real nice humvees in 1/72 scale

some even come 2 to a box 

That sounds much more doable.  Bigger isn't always better.  Keep us posted.

Good luck.

P.S. - One other pointer.  Initially, most Marines wore Cayote Brown (dark tan) IBA vests.  Later they started wearing Woodland camo ones.  I haven't seen any IBAs in MARPAT camo.
